Pet care experience

Fun, loving and reliable pet care

Hi, I am Monica 😃. I have three rescue dogs, two cats and a desert tortoise. I’m the crazy animal lady and am turning my 4 yo daughter into one too. I am an elementary school teacher, but LOVE walking dogs and taking care of cats. I am also a foster mama to lots of kittens and mama cats and volunteer in dog shelters to walk the pups and clean up after them. I am devoted to animal welfare and truly love taking care of animals. I am not very active on it anymore, but I do have an instagram page for fosters and my pets you can check: thefostersiblings. I pay attention to details, such as cleaning water bowls before changing the water and have lots of treats in my treat pouch for walks. One of my dogs is a “canine good citizen”, so I also have experience with basic dog training and commands. I don’t have a lot of availability, but please reach out either way to check. I would love to love on your babies!

Monica is so awesome. She watched our two dogs for 3 nights and kept us updated the whole time with messages and photos. Our pups had so much fun and came home happy. I would highly recommend Monica and will return the next time we need a dog sitter. ?

Monica was freaking amazing!! First off, she accepted my one year old pup Cash who is a little under 65 pounds last minute because our other sitter canceled. She was so helpful and good with him!! I literally can’t recommend or thank her enough. She sent me so many photos and videos and I just felt so at peace knowing he was in such good hands. He was literally on vacation! Monica did stimulation food exercises with him since he’s so food motivated. She gave him frozen milk bones with peanut butter and was so sweet and good with him. She made me feel so at ease. She is was so communicative and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the area needing a great sitter. Thank you again Monica!!!

Monica, her family and her pets were just amazing. She communicated prior and during the visit, sent pics and videos and made us feel so comfortable leaving Piper for the day. We could not be happier with the care our dog got and highly recommend Monica for anyone. We will see you again, thanks!! ???

Monica was fantastic and our Simba loved her and her family. They bonded so quickly. We received wonderful updates and pictures daily with assurance that our loved one was in good hands. We highly recommend Monica.
